Tim Wheeler of Ash will support the Alzheimer’s Society with his first solo album after his father succumbed to the illness – an ordeal which inspired most of the LP’s creation.
“After losing my father to dementia, I felt the need to personally do something to fight Alzheimer’s,” Wheeler has said. “My friend Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy’s father also has Alzheimer’s so we put on a concert in Belfast in November 2011 with The Divine Comedy, The Undertones and Ash to raise funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Society.”
“Since then I’ve had close links with The Alzheimer’s Society and this year was involved with the Dementia Friends campaign. I’m proud to continue to support them and raise more awareness with the album Lost Domain.”
‘Lost Domain’ will be released via Sony RED on November 3rd after being recorded in New York with special guests Andy Burrows, Neon Indian and the London Metropolitan Orchestra among others.
